Well I never removed them per se, I just lost them when I deleted my old user - got the "illegal activities detected on your computer, pay 100$ or prepare to be arrested" scam and couldn't find any other way to get my computer to work again. (There wasn't enough room for all my stuff on the memory stick, and some things were left behind...)
Time to consult the old man again, I guess.
